'Mullholland Drive' -- 4 out of 5 stars.
This is one of those movies that usually generates a response of "this is a confusing mess" or "if you don't get it, you're obviously not intelligent enough" reviews.
This movie can be recommended to anyone who is willing to watch a "sit and think" movie. As the director's fans are saying, Lynch is non-linear storyteller and his movies aren't meant to be taken as an exercise in "I'll sit down and you tell me a story". However, they are meant to be discussed endlessly, and figuring out his flicks are half the fun.
I would disagree with those who say watch it twice and you'll figure it out. This is kind of movie you are supposed to discuss with others and get their reactions. It's a movie designed to poke your inner emotions, and some people react differently to different scenes.
Two scenes that are worth the price of admission: the odd theatre performance towards the end (from now on, I will be unable to hear the song "Crying" without thinking of it), and highly erotic sex scene about halfway through. Hoo baby.
